Rajnath Singh Calls for Stronger Indigenous Defence
Imagine India wants to make its own weapons and defense equipment, instead of buying them from other countries.
The Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh, is telling Indian companies, especially those in the private sector, to focus on making these things themselves.
He wants them to be innovative and develop their own technology, parts, and ways to fix and maintain the equipment.
This is important because the world is changing, and India needs to be ready to defend itself.
He wants the country to build not only assemble equipment here but to create the manufacturing base in the country.
This will make India stronger and more independent in defense.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called for greater self-reliance in defense.
He emphasized innovation, R&D, and technology-based manufacturing.
Singh highlighted the success of indigenous equipment during 'Operation Sindoor'.
The focus is on establishing a real manufacturing base.
Industry urged to focus on indigenous manufacturing of subsystems.
